Make Up's In Mass Mind inlay was a brilliant piece of propaganda, preaching a new youth revolution through the creation of an original musical genre. Buggered if I can remember what they named it, though. help us out here, CK?
Gospel Yeh Yeh
From the back of Destination Love:Live! At Cold Rice:
Of all the Sectarian developments stemming from Christianity in the former colonies, perhaps the strangest and most fascinating is the one called "Gospel Yeh-Yeah". Which, though originating in Washintont, D.C., seems to be spreading elsewhere at an alarming rate.
A proclaimes "liveration theology" with a decidedly unchristian emphasis on earthly transformation, the dogma is proselytized mainly by a spiritually guided musical quarted dubbed "(The) Make-Up" who crusade unendingly to spread their faith. This faith is an apocalyptic affai, with ministers urging their flock to "get theirs" and "off the pigs - in all their forms". The Make-Up's efforts, despite (or perhaps because of) thier fanatical credo, seem to be bearing a bounty of bitter fruit, as recent tallys of their numbers and counting of their coffers reveal. Although their strange brand of gospel has, up to now, due to small record labes and uneven distribution, been relatively unknown, it threatens to go international, du to the recent major recording house, "Dischord Recording Company" also from the district of Columbia.
And Rizla, the packaging of 1000 Hurts is a bit pointless if you get the cd, but if you buy the record, which also has a large cardboard box, you get a free cd of the album, that is just thrown in there with no labeling on it, which is kind of funny because the record usually costs about three to four dollars less than the cd (at least around these parts) -- this basically has to do with Mr. Albini's anti-compact disc and pro-vinyl stance. |
